The Master of Business Systems by research is offered by the School of Business
Systems. The aim of the program is to provide training and research in the
analysis, design, development and application of computer systems to the
management of business operations. This involves the study of business-related
techniques, practices and procedures in areas such as management, commercial,
financial, health and industrial systems, leading to an understanding of the
application of computer systems and information technology for business
purposes.
The research undertaken reflects the current interests of the school. The
results are presented in a major thesis that must demonstrate wide reading and
understanding. In addition to writing the thesis, the candidate will be
required to present a research proposal and write and present a working paper
of journal quality.
Entrance
normally requires an honours degree in business systems from Monash University
or Graduate Diploma in Business Systems from Monash University or equivalent to
the discretion of the head of school (distinction average or above). Those
expecting to complete their degrees in the current year may apply. Students
initially enrolled in the Master of Business systems (coursework or projects)
who have completed four units with a distinction average or above can apply.
Generally, if a student seeks to transfer to a Master of Business Systems
either by coursework or projects, credit will only be granted for the two units.
The course consists of two units and a 75 per cent thesis. The standard structure is:
